The study addresses the question of links between narcissism and position in proximate social groups, defined as approval, popularity (positive, negative and overall) and centrality. Narcissists exhibit many socially undesirable features and behaviours, therefore the main hypothesis was that narcissistic people will be unpopular and disapproved by those who have known them for a longer time. Additionally, tested were hypotheses that narcissistic people will overestimate their own standing in a group and that they will like each other. The study applied network analysis of sociometric and psychometric data to verify the hypotheses in natural environments of small peer groups of Polish university students (N = 124). Results provided a complex picture of narcissists’ standing in groups. The main finding was that narcissism correlated with certain social popularity, both overall and positive. It also correlated with the overestimation index, however absolute values of the overestimation indicated that Polish narcissistic people do not overestimate but rather underestimate less their social position compared to the nonnarcissitic ones. The network analysis revealed the central position of narcissists in the groups, as indicated by a higher number of interpersonal relations (Degree), especially those directed from the narcissists outwards (Outdegree), a strategic selection of friends from influential group members, and more control over information flow in the network, resulting from standing between other group members (Betweenness). The hypothesis of reciprocal attraction of narcissistic people was supported. The findings point to possible culture-based differences in the expression of narcissistic features. Conclusions are drawn for understanding the perpetuation of narcissism. Limitations of the results and further research directions are discussed.

This article contrasts and discusses two views about pharmaceuticals. On the one hand there is a wide popularity of pharmaceuticals in both high income and poor societies. At the same time, however, a more sceptical and reluctant attitude towards pharmaceuticals occurs. The article reviews the reasons for the worldwide trust in drugs, and then suggests that some of the same factors may help to understand mistrust and reluctance to use them in other circumstances.

The article deals primarily with names given the youngest male and female Poles in the 39 largest cities of Poland during the last 16 years (1995–2010). The author shows the general numerical structure of these anthroponyms – there are 6,292 such names. Also a subject of interest are anthroponyms of very low frequency (4,701 names have a frequency of being given one to three times). Then the author compares a ranking list of the one hundred most frequently selected given names in the largest cities of Poland during the years 1995–2010 with a similar list of frequencies for names most often used through the whole 20th century, pointing out similarities and differences between them. The author also discusses the statistic distribution of the masculine and feminine Polish names currently most popular in large cities. She notes the similarities and divergences in regard to preference in selection of these names in large cities in comparison with the capital (Warsaw), Mazowieckie voivodeship, and Poland as a whole.

Although peer status has been extensively studied especially with regard to pro social behaviour, the results are mixed. Current study focuses on popularity and friendship, and their associations to social behaviour (pro social vs. antisocial) and social cognition (mindreading and empathy). 335 preadolescents (Mage = 13.3) participated in the study and completed sociometric questionnaire, mindreading test and three empathy questionnaires. Boys scored higher in popularity and disruptive behaviour, girls scored higher in helping behaviour and social cognition (mindreading and empathy). The two subtypes of popular students were identified – Pro social and Populist, who differed in their social behaviour and underlying social cognition. Pro social students showed more pro social behaviour, together with better mindreading and empathy skills than Populists. It seems that popularity in group can be achieved by two ways - either by being nice, or by being “tough”. This finding is also in line with the results of Bruyin and Cillessen (2006).
